Setup a 360 spin

To setup a 360 spin, upload your set of 360 images to your product in your VirtueMart section.

• Number of images on X-axis - Number of images in the spin set e.g. 18 or 36 (0 = disabled)
• Product IDs - Choose which products have 360 images, comma separated e.g. 1,4,5,12,14 (all = all products)

2. Install the VirtueMart extension for Magic Zoom Plus.
3. Create a new product or open an existing one.

FAQ

1. What is a 360 product viewer?

   A 360 product viewer takes a set of 360 degree images and merges them together on a web page. This creates an interactive spin which visitors can move left and right to see every angle of the item. (If your 360 photography was also taken on Rows, your 360 spin will move up and down too.)

This 360 degree spin component was created for VirtueMart. The module is released under the GPL. The 360 spin is created with the JavaScript and Flash tool, Magic 360, which is released as commercial software.

To create a 360 degree spin on your VirtueMart website, you need a set of 360 photographs of your products. Each set of photos should be shot on a turntable, with each shot equally spaced, e.g. 18 or 36 photos per rotation. They can be one row, multiple rows (for a 3D effect) or one row and one column (for a Martini effect, like the blue running shoe). If you need photos, tell us what your products are and we will get quotations for professional 360 product photography for you.
